I am sure I’ve mentioned before my obsession with pub trivia, which dates back to my high school obsession with Quiz Bowl, which I’m sure is very much part of the reason I’m in this profession. As an adult with children, it seems like a proper excuse to get wasted. I am typically lousy in all categories except pop culture, which is why my pub trivia team (which has won its annual tournament three years running) keeps me around. I’m not sure where the Quiz Masters at these pubs come up with their questions (Snapple lids?), but I can assure you that the Guinness Book of World Records is a rich and wonderful source for pop culture questions. As such, I went through the film and television categories, and pulled out 25 facts that seemed like something that would show up in a game of pub trivia.
